Fisheries of the Exclusive Economic Zone Off Alaska; Rock Sole Sideboard Limit in the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Management Area
NMFS is prohibiting directed fishing for rock sole by catcher processors that are listed under the American Fisheries Act (AFA) in the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands management area (BSAI). This action is necessary to prevent exceeding the interim 2003 sideboard limit of rock sole specified for listed AFA catcher processors in the BSAI.
